Savage’s plan requires him to be in multiple timelines to complete this task. Lucky for him, he’s immortal and has a time ship which helps him accomplish this plan. However, the legends also have the waverider, which gives the audience the opportunity to see multiple timeline battles between Savage and the heroes across time.
After the battle, there’s the issue with the meteorites, which still have the ability to destroy the planet if not disposed of.
